My mom has some similar, I thought those were old until I looked at the back and saw that they were dishwasher safe...so hers aren't really old at all...
All this one has on the back is a little stamp that says England Willow...

Thanks for looking!! Amanda~

Nicely done. It sure looks good on your shelf. Here's a bit of information on the Willow Pattern, and a bit more.

The old materials are every bit as durables as the more recent stuff. This is especially true of ironstone. if it can survive 160+ yrs in a pit, it can be cleaned and continue to be used as intended.

Status: offline 		I just finished reading the story behind the Willow Pattern....What a beautiful and tragic love story it was  Oh and my exact plate is on the site to...how cool is that?
I guess it also goes to say that they just don't make things the way they used to!! half the stuff thats supposed to be dishwasher safe never lasts!! I don't have a dishwasher anyway...never have seen the point. We have one at work and no one ever wants to load it or empty it....and then when you do all the dishes are still half dirty even tho they've been run thru the wash already or they come out with crusty little white spots every where LOL I guess I'm a little more like my mom than I thought!

Must be an old dishwasher.  I would kill for one!  I cook and bake a lot and it would save me a lot of time, energy and space.  A dishwasher uses less water than washing a ton of dishes by hand and if it's a good one, is a lot more sanitary and works well.  I guess what I'm trying to say is, I want a dishwasher.  I've already heard the joke, "Yeah, but we already have one" 

Nice willow ware, btw.

The dishwasher here is pretty nice but when you have 6 or 7 guys just piling stuff in it....its not going to work so well lol! I guess Im lucky because my Chris usually takes care the dishes...I work and cook, he can do the dishes!!( Unless I want it done a certain way)
That plate did turn out great and looks good in my display....and the romantic story/fable behind it was beautiful :)~

Probably made between 1890, when the McKinley Tariff act passed, requiring that imported china be marked with the country of origin, and 1921, when the words "Made In" were added to the required marking.

Status: online 		That's cool, this is one of my first finds. Circa 1970 (my dig, no idea of age). I glued it and use it. It's marked, among other things, "Semi China" so it's not quite China? I gotta look that up. Grammar fairy, don't pick on me, OK.

Pretty amazing. I'm one who would never even attempt using an old piece. But then it's not like these are calendar plates with gold leaf around the edge...or gold paint...

true, for stuff like yelloware and the like, they say not to eat anything with liquid, or heat off of one. You could use a yelloware bowl with a napkin in it for bread or something.

All jokes aside, with a large family a dish washer is useless. Most people in Hawaii don't use them not to mention a lot of the cleaning agents are pretty hard on the environment.
In my house everyone washes their own dishes and does their own laundry.

Nice plate by the way!
